Well, the Wii Virtual Console doesn't even have any Game Boy line games. There are only about 400 games available on the NA Wii Virtual Console. That's pretty good, no doubt, but only a small fraction of what the R5 can play.

you guys are getting closer and closer to convince me on giving up on getting a WiiU to get a Retron 5 someday.

No it...it will already be out by then. This isn't softeware emulation like the Virtual Console. It uses carts, and it doesn't have a slot for N64 games. Maybe they'd add it to a possible Retron 6, but I don't see them adding it to the 5.

A new interview with Hyperkin emerges. They're talking 100% compatibility with all games, and they're even going for total homebrew cart support as well. Gallizzi from Hyperkin also seems to be pretty confident that the controller shouldn't be an issue like with the previous Retron clones.

He also says that Hyperkin has a new project in the works, and whatever it is will let you play MS-DOS games, and perhaps Atari 2600, and Commodore 64 games. Personally, I'd love to see support for the Atari 8-Bit computer games as well if it's going to support C64 and DOS games. Colecovision (Or even the Intellivision) would be cool as well, but the controllers are obviously gonna pose a problem there.

Hey everyone there is a rumor that is Nintendo 64 games could be coming to the retron 5.

For all ye' N64 fans out there (Which I most certainly am not one of, sad to say), Gallizzi says you should look forward to what they have in store at E3. There will definitely not be any Retron 5 support for the system though, unless they end up releasing some sort of expansion for it.

Only 4 days left until April, still no solid release date. Nobody quote me on this, but I'm starting to suspect that the release date is literally "April", as in retailers can ship them out as soon as April starts.

I tried the Retron 5 out this past weekend and is pretty good. The wireless controllers that come with it are amazingly light but they felt just a bit off and we're not the most comfortable things to hold. I recommend using the original controllers over them unless you just really need wireless. All the games ran really well and there didn't seem to be any sound or graphical issues at all but keep in mind I was at a convention so sounds was something I'm not 100% sure on as the building was loud.
